%N Indices of primes in sequence defined by A(0) = 71, A(n) = 10*A(n-1) - 9 for n > 0.

%C Numbers n such that 70*10^n + 1 is prime.

%C Numbers n such that digit 7 followed by n >= 0 occurrences of digit 0 followed by digit 1 is prime.

%C Numbers corresponding to terms <= 922 are certified primes.

%e 700001 is prime, hence 4 is a term.
